Camber links and turnbuckles on traxxas rustler 2wd vxl are they interchangeable and should I?

[mikalojczyk1]

question



I accidently purchased rpm camber links part 81264 for my traxxas rustlser 2wd vxl but realized I have the stock turn buckles rather then camber links . Can I switch and should I switch to the rpm camber links ? I've never had real issues with my turnbuckles I simply bought the camber links because they were green and I thought they'd look good .



What are the pros and cons if there are any if I switch ?



Any input is greatly appreciated

If they provide the proper setup for you, there is no negative other than the loss of adjustability.

After a while they may developed play in the screw hole.

Yes they will work. They are from the XL5 brushed model as they have plastic fixed links,vs the VXL has adjustable steel links.

They are fixed so they are not adjustable and will usually have a run of -1 or -1.5 degrees camber.

You do need a set of these screws to put them into the shock tower: https://traxxas.com/products/parts/3642

Overtime, they would have play in them.

These are RPM so they should be fine, i broke 2 stock traxxas ones pretty easily.

Yes you can use them but why ? they have no fine adjustability to them. Id pass
